Overpriced Food

I just got a fruit and cheese platter at the HUB today, and was blown away when I found out how much it cost. It was $6. This isn't some awesome fruit platter with multiple apples or bunches and bunches of grapes and fresh melon. This is roughly a third of an apple, a few cubes of cheese, two strawberries, and a few grapes. They threw in a few saltines as well. Oh, but it's organic, so it simply MUST cost $4 more than it should.

Pissin' Me Off Haiku

How do they expect
college students to afford
six dollar failures?


I am not exaggerating here. This is precisely what my "platter" consisted of:

14 small cubes of cheese

2 strawberries

4 saltines

1/3 of an apple (4 slices)

10 grapes

1 piece of lettuce for garnish
